New update. seems like my epic looks for a new method of using the sensor. this time instead of gallery or maps. its "android system" that shows 6hrs of "sensor usage" time.

ima try a clean install and sd format and new download of 1.1 (again).. After that if all else fails, I will stretch my possibility's for a solution =/
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Android should be using the sensors though. You're looking in the wrong place. Look for battery consumption, not sensor usage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
Great rom. Everything works great outside the wireless/wired tethering apps, which is fine. I'm really enjoying it though :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] r0nin ar1es:
I did not want to hear that, but my plan is to go back to stock and start over.

I just want to know would it be bad to flash the remove clock.zip and stock google clock package that ptfdmedic has on his site, which is a EC05 NoCIQ rom. I know its not the same as ACS and based mostly on Bonsai, but I respect you's guys opinion.

I will do a nandroid back up of course, but theoretically do you see an issue with this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it! And we're working on wired tether :D

It should be fine to flash those :) I also have a flashable clock package, attached to the post here for you :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] r0nin ar1es:
Awesome thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] D6E:
I just want to say that this is an incredible ROM. Moved over from stock 2.2.1 and never looked back. Battery life is amazing and love the performance.

My Epic now also runs cooler than before! Mad props to the OP. Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
I did a fresh install and vision 1.1, twilight 1.04 and twilight 1.1.0 still freezes in srf1.1.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
well I find it very hard to believe that 3hours sitting on idle that the system has to show near 4hrs of sensor usage. and ive used juiceplotter and the graph shows concistency to the time frame of that usage. I even checked and opened gallery and maps and they all end up doing the same thing. (displaying large hours of usage) so it must be related to apps not closing correctly in par with the sensor.

Edit: even after force closing spareparts shows their times keep moving. unless spareparts is wrong D=
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Did you wipe dalvik/cache before every flash? There's absolutely zero in the ROM that can cause freezes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
yes 3x each
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Try older Twilight Zone kernels or Genocide.
[Epic 4G Android Development] volkly:
Thanks for a great rom!

Quick question, I see that the 2 sns.apks are put back in the version, are those 2 files necessary? I use facebook but not syncing them to my contacts or having facebook provide notifications or refresh?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
They aren't necessary unless you want the sync.
[Epic 4G Android Development] volkly:
Awesome, thanks

No need to have the sns service running all the time and drain battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
i gave up trying and just went back to 1.02

ill update when 1.1.1 or whatever the next one is ready

probably try genocide later tho
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pwn3d:
I love syndicateROM and I use it for 2.1. But whenever I flash up to EB13 and EC05, stuff just goes wrong. It'll work perfectly for about 1-3 hours then it'll crash. I use handcent SMS and it wont open and it freezes the phone. What's happening? I really wanna use 2.2 but whenever I go to a rom it ends up freezing..

Edit: yes I've tried vision kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
I'll try to; I have two more (OEM) batteries that I have not used yet with this phone since loading this ROM but cannot until Monday.

Bug Report - Youtube Video Upload.

It seems that youtube video uploading is broken in SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0. This feature is not often used, so I've only found 3 reports of it in the ~6700 post thread, plus one more in the Q&A section. Is there a process for submitting a bug for (known bug) status? Note that the ROM works perfectly for me in all other regards, except for the known bugs listed on the 2nd post.

To reproduce:

Long press a video in any gallery type application (Gallery, quickpic, etc..)

Choose "Share"

Youtube is absent.

Note that reinstalling the youtube app from the market does not fix this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thatdudepoops:
Bytetornado fixed this thx

it's not a bug, and not too far back is the answer, search is your friend :)

i think mediauploader.apk is the relevant file (post 5550), but i just put all three in /system/app ... then got a persistent force close from media service ... i had to finagle it to where i could catch the Reboot option (after long pressing my power button) between the FC popup so i could reboot it (because media service was still running and i guess freaked out after having files replaced - i think the two that TheImpaler uploaded...) - and i did NOT want to pull the battery. try only loading the mediauploader.apk into /system/app first and reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
This is kind of a general question relating to pretty much all roms that I have come across, but why does our phone only show display, cell standby and phone idle in battery stats? Don't other phones show which particular application has used the battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
I was wondering the same this morning after trying to find my battery drain. When I ran our CM7 alpha build, it showed all usage, that's the only time I've seen that info
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just use spare parts to get all the info ;) :)

Sent from a truly Epic phone on the XDA Premium app ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] droid newb:
I flashed the modem & the new ROM...is this what I should be seeing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fczeuner:
baseband and build are correct, so I'd say yes
[Epic 4G Android Development] nerdtaco:
That looks good to me too.

By the way, ACS said they're going to do Evo 3d stuff!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, looks good! :D

;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] droid newb:
Thanks! Didn't know if I was supposed to be seeing anything different because of the new modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fu_manchu:
For some reason I don't have the BuddiesNow widget available. I've reinstalled 1.1.0 three times and still don't see it. Is there anyway I can get the .zip and install through CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You'll need to install the fully loaded version of the rom to use it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
Hopefuly yall fix the freezes in this wonderful rom

Sent from Snarf with an Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
There are no freezes in this rom.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
thats awesome cause Im DITCHING samsung for the hot HTC device

should have stayed HTC lol. 6700<6800<diamond<hero<evo

glad to hear ACS will jump over!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KillerFu:
My wireless tethering is not working... has not worked since I started using this rom. Any ideas on what I should do? :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
We are working on fixing the tether, which was broken in the last update. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
i hate how 3.0 works to i would suggest you use wireless tether 2.0.8 it works best I.M.O
[Epic 4G Android Development] KillerFu:
Ahhhh THANK YOU!!

It never worked for me from 1.01. Hopefully the fix fixes it! Love the rom and only one I use! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it! And if you were referring to wireless tether, did you set the phone type to epic 4g in settings and try it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cavey8500:
ok so i just traded in 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 and the onlything bad that i notice is that when i flip the phone sidways without the keyboard out there is terrible lag in the rotation. what can i do to fix this? something in the terminal to calibrate? thanks man, great rom btw =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it! Calibrate the accelerometer in settings>display, and also type this into terminal:

su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Ok, I'm trying this again. Coming from stock with just root and cwm 2.5.5.

FYI: I hate you guys for making me hate the stock rom. Thanks :D.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, do NOT flash this yet!!!!! Root with CWM 3.x first, or this will NOT work! Use this. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
I know, I just said I'm coming from that. I've already loaded CWM3, and it's currently converting to EXT4 :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok good, and actually you said cwm 2.5.5. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
He is probably talking about the tar that comes with preloaded with ec05/cwm 2.5.5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, if it is 2.5.5, it won't work ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] fczeuner:
Just an update. I've been running 1.1 since release. No problems to report. Very smooth and fast. At the moment I'm on the genocide kernel 1.0, no overclock. I've also restored from a nandroid so journaling is enabled.

Nice job, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Yeah, correct, but I think there isn't a tar that comes with ec05/cwm3, so he has to odin to the ec05/cwm2.5 tar and then run cwm3 over it. (at least that's what I've been doing)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like the rom! Thank you for your support, and stay tuned for more ACS goodness :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ah gotcha :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cavey8500:
when i type that it sayes premision is denied? ill try to reallow it in super users
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, do that, should work so long as you type su first, hit enter, and then accept the su prompt and go to the next line :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanberlin:
If you restore a backup through cw3 and were non journaled does it turn journaling on? Or did I miss read that and you restored a journaling rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, that does indeed turn journaling on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cavey8500:
ok so i did it and got it to work. ( i forgot the su the first time =P lol) and rebooted my phone. and its good enough to live with now haha =P it was like 5seconds and now its probly about .5 to 1 second. its getting better the longer my phones on. thanks for the help man =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Nope, I was actually on an OTA ec05, then I installed cwm 2.5.5. I then installed 3.0.0.6, converted over, wipe, wipe, wipe, flashed, phone reset while flashing, went back into cwm, wipe, wipe, wipe, flashed again, booted fine, now restoring my apps with mybackup root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not a problem, let me know if you need anything else! And there's a button for that now :p :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] fczeuner:
Sure does... That info should be in Impalers Signature. It would save him a lot of typing. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, if only I could put everything that would save me typing in my sig ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Ok, after the restore, and rebooting, EVERYTHING was f/c'ing on me. Is the fix for this 'fix permissions'? in CWM?

Ok, after a wipex3 (data, cache, dalvik), reflashing of the ROM, I rebooted. I opened up the app drawer, and now it's frozen completely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, fix permissions and if that doesn't work, wipe data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Ok, after the battery pull and restart, I just had the acs logo popping up over and over. Trying again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You can't pull the battery, or data corruption will happen. Do as I said and wipe data/factory reset, then try to boot up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
There was nothing I could do, it would not boot into the ROM at all. All I would see is the ACS splash screen, and none of the buttons worked. I booted back into CWM3, did another wipe, wipe, wipe, and reflashed the ROM. We'll see what happens now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Oh, I see what you mean. And I wouldn't have reflashed at this point, just wiped the data at first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
I'll keep you posted if it happens again. Doing a restore right now, then I'll reboot into CWM and do the fix permissions. Thanks for your help Impaler :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not a problem, let me know how it goes :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
By any chance are you restoring a CWM backup?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Me? 10char10
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Ok, after it "fixing" permissions, I rebooted. Went to pick Launcher Pro as my default Home, and it froze. Any idea how I'm supposed to get all my apps back :(?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cswee1932:
Ok, i'm sorry if this is obvious, but I followed all the directions in the video on the first post and I can't seem to figure out why this ROM is soo laggy. My problem usually seems to occur when scrolling through menus. It's almost like it's not registering touch??

Is this a problem with something I'm doing??

Thanks in advance for any help!

Chris
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's because you reflashed the rom after wiping data. Relfash the rom again, don't wipe anything.

Ummm.... what video?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cswee1932:
this one...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Et6qVGdo&feature=channel_video_title

It's located about halfway through post #2.

Chris
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Ok, so restore, fix permissions, then reflash without wipe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Have you changed anything? Are you using setCPU?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cswee1932:
I did have SetCPU on the first time around, then I went through, wiped and reinstalled again, still laggy...rewriting permissions would be accomplished by re-rooting and changing to ext4 again? then reinstalling the rom?

I apologize, I'm not totally down with the lingo except for the "flash" side of thing :-)

Thanks already for advice given!

Chris
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, happy to help :) Fixing permissions can be done in the advanced menu of CWM, and I'd do that, as well as using setCPU to change the governors around, and see if conservative or ondemand will give you better performance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lrosado:
Any idea on when you'd be releasing a stock theme for this awesome rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I believe we're going to try to crank it out with 1.1.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lrosado:
Awesome, looking forward to it
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
And we have a winner! THANK YOU!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did you get it? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Yup! So far so good!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cool cool, hope I helped
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
You did, a lot!

Question, how hard would it be to port the Galaxy S's auto focus video camera over to the Epic? I know ours does it a little bit, but the S's is much quicker!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q_JuJmNat8
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Wo do have a galaxy s phone, so it ought to do that already :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
It does, just very slowly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm, not sure if it can be changed, but if so, ACS will find it ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
FINALLY...

I got the new version (1.1.0) flashed and working.. FINALLY...

so much trial and error.. my phone played really nicely w/ 1.0.2 but puked every time i tried to follow the instructions and get it flashed..

Here's what worked for me (and hopefully, others will try this as well and report back results.. it seems as if there's alot of members having difficulty getting this version to flash/boot properly and K0nane and theimpaler747 have been tremendous w/ their tech support, for that I say thanks, but i wanted to try and get it on my own)

I odin'd to Di18, got the OTA to EC05 (this also installed the EC05 modem ;) )

I used stock EC05 for a while (after many failed attempts to get this version working properly)

I used this version of CWM3 (don't know why the one in the first post wasn't working well for me, it seemed like it was puking on my phone for some reason, every attempt to use that version resulted in a non-working phone that required odining back to stock)

After I did the one click root, but before booting into recovery, I downloaded the Vision Kernel and saved it in my dropbox folder on my SD card

I already had the older version of SRF (1.0.2) on my SD card, if you don't have it, get it.. this just might help.. it helped me

Then I made sure to download the standard no journal version of the SRF ROM (link in 1st post)

I booted into recovery (3.0.0.6) and let it convert to EXT4.. (note, you can't reboot the phone afte because the stock EC05 ROM doesn't like EXT4 and you'll cause yourself problems.

After the EXT4 conversion was done, I wiped data, cache, dalvik 3x each (for good measure)

I flashed SRF 1.0.2 (the previous version that worked like a champ on my phone, and I had a nandroid backup to restore /data from as well ;) )

After flashing SRF 1.0.2, I booted the phone. 1st boot took a minute, but worked ok. I checked menu > settings > about phone and i DID still have the EC05 modem (remember, we got it via OTA a few steps back)

I shut the phone down properly.. booted into recovery (CWM 3.0.0.6)

Choose zip from SD card. I flashed SRF 1.1.0.. it seemed to work, but my CWM3 was really laggy.. after it flashed, I tried to reboot the phone.. got stuck on boot logo..

Pulled battery, booted into CWM3, wiped data, cache, dalvik 3x each (for good measure)

flashed SRF 1.1.0 again.. before booting though, i flashed the vision kernel, THEN booted the system.

IT BOOTED PROPERLY...

I allowed it to boot and finish 'media scanning' (annoying as hell that it scans twice but oh well)

I shut down the phone properly, booted back into CWM3 and did an advanced restore of /data only (from my SRF 1.0.2 install from before) and..

ALL IS WELL, ALL IS WORKING.. so far.

I hope this helps anyone else that's having problems getting this all working.

Not sure why some members are getting this ROM flashed really easy and others (myself included) are running into obstacles but this method worked for me.

Hope this helps (if it does, please hit "Thanks" :)

@ACS.. thanks for an amazing and light weight ROM :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you got it working! Kudos to you, I wish more users would do some troubleshooting and learning like you have successfully done :) Just for that, you get a thanks from me :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
And u get one in return my friend.. LOL

(I had one random reboot, after it rebooted my zeam launcher settings were reset.. i got the reboot trying to use adao file manager FWIW.. Then, after using USB storage to transfer some files from my phone to my PC, i turned off USB storage and let the phone sit for a few minutes. the phone froze at the home screen :(

I'm reverting back to 1.0.2 for the time being (need a stable phone for work tomorrow LOL)

I'll play w/ it tomorrow afterwards :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chevyfan061:
my phone froze so i pulled the battery... got the instant gaaps force close.... this is after i just odin back to stock did eveything in the video and such..... should i go back into clockwork mod and install the zip again... or should i wipe data/dalvik and cache?

its annoying coming from 1.0.2 and having no force closes to 1.1.0 and having forceclose times after you've re-flashed your phone everydAY!
[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
look 2 or 3 posts above for some additional help :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, as always, need anything, just shout :D

You have data corruption. Fix permissions and if that doesn't work, wipe data :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Here it is a couple hours later, and with some heavy use, it's working perfectly. Impaler, I can't thank you enough for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Do what I did:

Do a backup with MyBackup Root (free in the market)

Wipe data, flash rom, reboot

After reboot, redownload MyBackup Root, and then do a restore.

Turn off the phone, and boot into CWM again

Go to Advanced, click fix permissions

Reflash the rom

I did this earlier, and it works perfectly. Again, Impaler was a huge help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not a problem man :) Just clicking the button a few times is good enough for me :p :D Shout if you ever need anything else
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Done :) ..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I thank you in return :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Invalid Nandroid

I did a customary nandroid backup and then tried to restore (to enable journaling)...CWM comes back with "MD5 mismatch" and wouldn't restore. I tried a couple of other backups of other ROM versions I have saved... Same result. Any ideas what's going on here?

Also, why don't I have an /sd-ext? I tried to partition the SD card and that wouldn't work from CWM3.0.0.6 either. Am I missing something somewhere?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You don't need sd-ext, and this is unfortunately another flaw of CWM :( I haven't ever seen a way to "fix" this when it occurs unfortunately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flerchin:
Do you consider it a feature? No, it's a bug. I've seen those posts, and it's not at all clear to me that they relate to the reported issue. I will report back after I attempt adb push.

This workaround is dodgy at best. The issue needs to be marked for inclusion in the next revision.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Are you speaking about the inability to restore? I don't want to be hanging with no backup, you think I should start from a scratch un-rooted state? I had a ton of problems getting 1.1 set up...I have a feeling something went sideways during that process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
I'll try this and see if it helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
How is this a bug?

Yeah, report back, I'm curious too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
k0nane, have you been up all night answering questions and replies?

Also, if you moved apps to the sd card, does it show up on the sd card? I'm asking because I moved the apps, and unable to locate them on the sd card, unless they are hidden files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Can you get a log? I think I'm seeing a connection here - I'm guessing that app goes uses SSL on its web-fetching. There were exceptions in a previously-posted logs relating to that.

The more data we have, folks, the quicker we can solve any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bcparker:
You were right, it was just the apks, I installed the modded apks that were somewhere here on xda and everything is gorgeous. Great work, this ROM flies, then again, I wouldnt really know the difference because this is my first day with my Epic, but I appreciate all your work nonetheless. Thanks a million.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
To be honest, I don't have an ADB folder. I started looking at SDK and got a little overwhelmed lol.

I just downloaded one of the flashable bootanimations for cm3 from the supernova thread, and replaced the "bootanimations.zip" in the flashable zip :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Glad you got it solved. A fix will be coming soon for everyone else.

I think I'm going to post a clean copy of ADB soon. The whole SDK isn't neccesary. Glad you got it working.
